Sailors Win at Vesutan, 2-1 | Tadaatsu Sunada could take little solace in pitching a good game. The fact is his Vesutan Bees lost, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Osaka Sailors at Fukuoka Stadium. The winning pitcher was Takahiko Kurata. His record now stands at 2-0. The left-hander went 7.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 7 hits for the Sailors. Tom Drill collected save number 1.
Toshimichi Ishii, who finished 2nd in the EL in triples with 9 in 1959, had a direct impact on the outcome. Ishii contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put Osaka up, 1-0.
"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Vesutan manager Jim Harper said, following the tough loss.
The Sailors raised their record to 5-4. | |
